Harper

At the first sunrise the next morning, Santiago and I were seated before the Elder council. There was no need for a big wedding since the union was going to end in six months so Santiago decided a dissoluble ceremony with the Elder council.

Just us and them. Good thing my father was absent trying to save the alliance with the Duarte since I refused the press conference and public apology that would humiliate.

“Miss Vargas is your father aware of this? Is he in support of your union wit

  • FAKE MARRIAGE WITH HOT NEIGHBOR ALPHA   Chapter 67

    Harper Days passed and I naturally just forgot about Nicholas and that silly encounter. My work was my priority and despite how bad I felt watching Smith take credit for most of my work, I focused on pushing my way back to the top. I spoke less at meetings, only chipped in when it was absolutely necessary and most importantly, the only time I got to sit with Smith was if there was a new design on board. The day for the event at the Montero manor arrived and Jennifer gave me the day off. It’s a good thing she’s a member of the family as well; that way I won’t have to explain why it’s important that I excuse myself from work to prepare for an event at my husband’s home. As the cab pulled over in front of the complex, I paid him off and climbed down. By the time I got to my door, I immediately realized I hadn’t picked out a dress. “Oh shit!” I groaned, pressing the space between my brows as my head slowly spun. How did I forget the most important detail? Now I have less than six ho

    Harper I immediately shut the door behind me, crossing my arms around my chest in order to secure my robe better. “Hi, Harper..” he said, smiling weirdly like anything about him standing outside my door at this time was funny. “What the hell are you doing here?” I snapped, glaring at his face. He looked around, rubbed his palms together and glanced at my door behind me. “Is your husband home?” He asked and I clenched my jaw. What if he finds out that Santiago and I don’t stay together? My eyes casually trailed off to Santiago’s door at the other side of the hall and then quickly returned to Nicholas. “Nicholas, that doesn’t answer my question.” I snorted back, “tell me what you’re doing outside my house at this forsaken hour of the night!”He took one step closer and I took one backwards until my back was pressing firmly against my door. “I just want to know, Harper, is your husband inside or not? Before I tell you my reason for being here..” he insisted and I sucked my teeth.

    Harper I was the first to pull my lips away and the soft breath that followed grazed the bridge of my nose. My hand was still on his bare chest, pressed against his heart and I could feel the rhythm multiplying by the second. The vibration made me shudder, so I quickly lowered my hand. I fluttered my eyes as his hand around my waist slowly loosened. Santiago looked at me with the kind of longing that I hadn’t seen in his eyes before or even in anyone else’s eyes, not even Nicholas. One that I thought was impossible for me to even see in any man’s eyes when he looked at me. I quickly turned away, tucking loose strands of invisible hair away from my face. I was so mesmerized I forgot my hair was in a tight bun.“I hope you won’t call this a mistake?” He muttered, his voice breaking the awkward silence and I coughed into my fist. “Uhm… why would I do that?” I whispered, nervously rubbing my cheeks with my hands to calm them from heating up uncontrollably but that was a fruitless at

    Harper As I sat in the back seat of the taxi I boarded to take me home after work, I couldn’t help but everything that happened in such a short time. Each time I think I’ve found happiness, something ruins it. Is the moon goddess against me? What on earth does Jennifer mean by Smith is going to handle the presentations of my designs? My designs! My work! I took a deep breath, my eyes fixed out the windows as I watched the city lights and people who probably didn’t have as much problems as I did. “Where here ma’am.” The driver called out, his eyes fixed on me through the rearview and I immediately jolted back to reality.I had no idea we’d gotten to the apartment already. “Thank you.” I exhaled, handing him his payment and pushing the door open. The air was cold as I stepped onto the concrete of the parking lot. I drew in several breaths letting the cold air fill my lungs hoping it would calm the storm brewing inside of me. I adjusted the strap of my bag on my shoulder, and walk

    Harper Work returned to normal and I tried as much as I could to be back on Jennifer’s good side. During the morning briefings, I gave my two cents and tried to smile at her; but the displeasure in her eyes towards me was very much glaring. Smith had returned from the trip already and I couldn’t get to him no matter how much I tried. He seemed too busy all of a sudden and for some reason, I slowly fell into the shadows. My new designs were ready and I couldn’t wait to show them to Jennifer. This time, a few of the pieces were actually inspired by a rare flower I saw in the Montero courtyard the last time I visited. “She’ll be dazed by this sketch..” I muttered under my breath as I finalized the last touches and had them printed out. My heels clicked against the floors, echoing through the quiet hallway that led to Jennifer’s office. I could hear voices coming out of her office and I waited by the door until whoever was in there with her finished their business. My left foot tap

    Harper “So I’m asking again, would you mind going on a trip with me?” “Santiago, this is all very new.” I finally got rid of the nerves. “Did you hit your head somewhere?” I asked and he chuckled softly. “It’s just that, since you’re not going on this business trip, I was thinking it’ll be okay for me to make it up to you with an even better trip.. like a vacation or something of that sort.” He explained and I crossed my eyes. “Better than global recognition as the brain behind one of the biggest auction pieces in the entire world?” I sneered and he shook his head almost immediately. “I didn’t mean it that way, I just want it to be my own way of apologizing..” he said and I let out a heavy sigh. “Well, that was so unexpected..” “So what do you say?” He urged on, the tone of his voice unusually soft like he was more of begging than asking me. This has dragged on too long, one would think he wants to kill me and take my soul. “I’d love a good time away from all this noise but a
